Sorry Cait, for some reason I never got the original notification. Yes, just the mention of a poet will work, but it does have to be a well known poet.

No worries! Is Dylan Thomas well known enough to count? He's the guy who wrote the "do not go gentle into that dark night" poem.
Yeah. I would say he is. I'm not big on poetry and I knew who he was.
Would a cheesecake count as pastry? I just found lemon cheesecake which I'm not sure if that works or not but it does sound flippin delicious.
Does the cheesecake have a bottom layer? Does it mention what kind of bottom layer it has? Cheesecake is so tricky cause it doesn't always have a bottom layer and when it does it's almost always cookie/graham cracker. But sometimes it is a pastry crust....
It doesn't say, no. Just says it's "that lemon cheesecake that you liked from Lily's."I'll keep looking :) Someone's bound to eat something lemon eventually.
If not, you can keep that on the back burner and use if it you can't find something else. Cheesecake is tricky. lol

Would talking about the Space Needle count for skyscraper?
Okay Cait, I could go either way on this and since I am wavering, I'll go ahead and say yes. According to wikipedia a skyscraper is both
A) A skyscraper is a tall, continuously habitable building of over 14 floors, mostly designed for office, commercial and residential uses.
B) A relatively big building may be considered a skyscraper if it protrudes well above its built environment and changes the overall skyline.
So with A, the Space Needle wouldn't fit cause it doesn't have any floors really until you get to the saucer. But with B, it is a big building nad it does protrude well above it's built environment and it definitely changes the overall skyline. I can't imagine my city without it, but when I do it's not as cool. Especially if you're looking at Seattle from West Seattle like in the first picture. The second is from another angle.
Awesome :) Thank you!I've never been to Seattle so I've only ever seen the Space Needle from like...the beginning of football games that are played there, when they pan around the city lol
Cait wrote: "Would talking about the Space Needle count for skyscraper?"I've been to the top of the Space Needle when I visited a friend from high school who lives in Seattle!
I live here and I've only been up once. The elevator scares the crap out of me. Lol but the view is amazing.
Finished message 9. Jumped out of bed when I found "Popsicle", fortunately I was alone.
Ate a grape one to celebrate finding it in a book that takes place on a cut-off-from-Earth foreign planet years after they lost Earth contact.
Congratulations Jonquil!! I'm down to 2 words and I think I will have the exact same reaction when I find them lol
Well, I found "She played golf" ... but no mention of her golf club ... S I G H
That's been happening to me a lot lately BC.

Congratulations on completing!

Eclair! I have read like 4 books with bakers for professions, and NADA!
I keep thinking I'm just gonna stumble across these naturally...but I think I'm gonna have to hunt a little pre-read for a few of these.
Does it have to be an assassination or can it be an attempt or plot to assassinate someone?
Would lemon meringue pie work for lemon flavoured pastry?
Jane wrote: "Would lemon meringue pie work for lemon flavoured pastry?"Yeah that'll work. Typically lemon meringue pie has a pastry crust.

In a word that is actualkly two words as in curly hiar, top floor, do they have to be together or jsut in the same sentence?
It could be something like "her hair was very curly". It doesn't have to say "I really liked her curly hair". With those things it just has to be obvious that they are talking about curly hair and the top floor. It can't be something like "she could see the top shelf from the floor" cause that isn't the top floor of a building.
Does that make sense Lindy?
my last word is top floor and I can't find them together
